If you are lucky enough to get an opportunity to visit this enigmatic capital, the variety of activities on offer will surprise you! The best way to get to know Asunción is by losing yourself in the civic centre, visiting the Cathedral, or being photographed next to the Casa de Gobierno. If you're looking to soak up its history and culture, our advice is to visit the museum House of Independence (Casa de la Independencia), which unveils Asunción's origins and emancipation. Also when planning your activities, don't forget to visit the small Persian fairs, especially the outstanding chaotic Silvio Peterossi market. In the midst of these visits and walks, the native objects and crafts offered by street merchants will be a real temptation. When night falls, it is time to try the local cuisine and enjoy walking along the banks of the Paraguay River.
